virginia. >> virginia senate is one of the most fascinating races. it's been a toss-up from the very beginning. it's one of the seats that needd congress or senator jim web's retiring. two former governors, tim kaine, ggeorge allen both running. this has been very much a national race with national money flowing to the race. 51.5 million spent from outside group. $30 million from the candidates alean. tim kaine was obama's democratic national committee chair. george allen is the former senator from this seat this has been a fascinating dynamic as both parties try to tie their fate to the top of the ticket. we got a few early exit polls looking at virginia that suggest that the president is performing fairly well with women right now. 52%. this is one of the early waves of these exit polls we've been talking about, but it suggests that that could help him in virginia but romney is winning with independent voters in virginia. that's going to be a real key what we're looking at all night long. >>

virginia is the latest as national attention has focused on a proposed law. a furor gripped virginia's state legislature in recent days, as republicans pushed to mandate ultra-sound testing, which would be internal for many women seeking abortions. on monday, more than a thousand people-- mostly women-- held a silent protest against the bill outside the state capitol in richmond. and, the proposal quickly drew the attention of national television, including the "daily show." with criticism rising, virginia's republican governor bob mcdonnell-- mentioned as a potential vice presidential nominee-- yesterday announced he'd changed his mind. he issued a statement that read: "mandating an invasive procedure in order to give informed consent is not a proper role for the state." instead, mcdonnell said, the bill should "...explicitly state that no woman in virginia will have to undergo a trans-vaginal ultrasound involuntarily." within hours, virginia's house of delegates did just that passing a version that requires the more traditional external abdominal ultrasound

when senator bird was alived of course west virginia and west virginia cities were able to take advantage of capital projects that he was able to to help us get money for. but as far as paying the every day bills, the problems that cities face across america are bigger and bigger cities. obviously, mayor villaraigosa would have bigger problems than we do. but the big cities around the country have big problems every well. the federal government is broke. and the 40% of the money they get they have to borrow. the money they spend. and that has to be dealt with too. i speaking only for myself, i think that the if the federal government is going to share money with cities and different political subdivisions around the country, we ought to go back to the way it was done in the 70s through revenue sharing and do it equally according to population all throughout the country and do a bay with all the specific winner and loser projects, you get this, you get that. >> suarez: starting in 2013 the congress is going to be on to some fairly tight restrictions as a consequence of the supercommittees
